Register for your MIT Kerberos account

When you register for your MIT Kerberos account, you choose a username and password. This gives you access to many of the applications and tools that you’ll need while at MIT. This username and password is used by Kerberos, an authentication technology created at MIT to ensure that you are who you say you are when you log on.

Note: Certificates expire every year on July 31, which means you'll need to renew them at least that often. Install them on each browser for each computer or device you will use to access certificate-protected sites.
